tried talking to my endo and basically said I’m fine bc my TIR in 86% but I know I’m not. I eat low carb and still have ketones so I’m trying to eat more carbs. Also if it matters I use g7 & Omnipod (hoping to switch to mobi soon).
Basically let’s start with my bg rising while sleeping. I don’t eat after 8PM. I fall asleep around midnight. Every night I wake up to almost 200mg & I have to keep dosing thru the night. (This is kinda more recent).
In the morning I basically just eat eggs 2g carbs. Like most diabetics i have dawn phenomenon so i dose insulin for that which usually works, but i still get that straight line for a few hours until it comes down.
For lunch I eat an anywhere from 10g-20g carbs. This is the issue, I rise like every other diabetic. But then I stay there. It gets stuck. For example today I had half a sandwich + some chips for 14g carbs. I rose too 190mg. Now I’m just stuck there for hours. Insulin becomes like water. Eventually, in the evening it comes down.
Guess I’m wondering, when I get stuck in that straight line and my insulin isn’t working, what’s happening??? I walk, drink lots of water, rage bolus. This has never happened to me before until recently so I’m kinda lost.
Thanks.

hello fellow diabetics! Diagnosed July of last year (yay anniversary!) tried eating like a normal human for a bit, it’s just to stressful. And honestly I really don’t mind low carb most days. Anywho, before diagnosis I went to gym 3x a week. Ofc I lost so much weight being in DKA. For reference I’m a 25yr 5ft female, who before diagnosis was around 120-130lbs. Now I am 100lbs. I stopped going to the gym because I basically reached my goal weight from the betes and low carb meals. However, now I want to gain weight and muscle. I’m nervous about going to the gym and losing weight, especially with low carb meals.

Any suggestions for how to build muscle in the gym, and gain weight from meals that are low carb? Any advice would help, thank you!

Currently looking for a new job. I know the market is tough right now anyways, but I feel like every time I put that I have a disability I almost never even get a reply back. I started putting I do not wish to disclose if I have a disability. I want to be transparent, because as we all know type 1 can definitely affect us at work. But I also don’t want an employer to just assume that because I have a “disability” I can’t do the job. I guess I’m looking for advice on what I should put when applying for these jobs.

Edit:
Thanks guys for the advice. I was kinda feeling down because I have a pretty great resume, & I’m a phenomenal worker, but I kept getting turned down. It sucks we have to say we don’t have a disability, but unfortunately it’s the way of life for some of us. I only need this job for health insurance reasons. Thanks again!
